The main opposition party wants to destroy the IPN, distribute the archives (in a country where the majority of documents has been burned). The IPN does local historical research, on county (powiat) level. Academic historians live mostly in cities and study history of the cities. More than 800 Polish villages have been burned by Germans. The research of the history of the villages was delegated to a little museum and after many years even no list of burned villages exists.

The article contains obvious errors, eg. Filomena Leszczynska sued Engelking and Grabowski without any relation to the IPN law of 2018, it was a libel case. A German court has punished a British historian in a similar case. The Polish court allows to publish libels as academic reasearch, it divides also the society into two classes - the priviledged 'academicians' and common people without rights.. The "Night without End" has been already published by Indiana University. Does it contain the libel? If not, the authors admit their error. Dr Haska criticizes IPN that it studied the book and published its opinion. BTW the IPN has published two critics, not the one mentioned.The Engelking's team did sloppy work and was paid. The work should be reviewed, it wasn't.

About 5,200,000 died. Germany has paid no read reparations. The government of Poland has created a report describing German responsibility. Many German politicians, journalists and academicians reject the Polish demands. The funniest reason is that the demands are allegedly immoral. Eastern Europe was discriminated because of Communism.

Warsaw survivors were deported to concentration camps or worked as slaves. They lost everything, even if they had written a diary, the notes perished. The German title is "The Holocaust and the allegedly uninvolved".

We are also to follow the Golden Rule, treating others with the same kindness and consideration we would want for ourselves. Which surely rules out invading and occupying other peoples countries and killing them by the million, even if we had the swords to do it with!<br /><br />We just want to tell you about the Kingdom of God and to be free to live as citizens of that Kingdom. So we can beg you to listen to us, but we cannot force anyone to, or punish them for not doing so.<br /><br />All the earliest Christians were Jews, as are all the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures, or New Testament.<br /><br />And, as far as "superior" and "inferior" races go, the Bible tells us we are all the children of Adam, all damaged and dying through on fault of our own, but because of what our first parents did. So we are all brothers and sisters, and all of us are missing the mark of the perfection we should have had.<br /><br />And far from considering ourselves superior in any way, Christianity teaches us to do “nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with lowliness of mind considering that the others are superior to you, keeping an eye, not in personal interest upon just your own matters, but also in personal interest upon those of the others.”—Phil. 2:3,4<br /><br />Lowliness of mind, not superiority, in fact we should consider others as superior to us and try to do our best for them. Surely Christian teaching is the perfect antidote to all racist ideas?sue knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416482546175572604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-90986307831377608342022-08-30T02:28:45.141-04:002022-08-30T02:28:45.141-04:00Wow, the educator's account has been suspended...Wow, the educator's account has been suspended, I do not know any details.Jerzy Pankiewicznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-39953335167936552382022-08-30T02:26:30.494-04:002022-08-30T02:26:30.494-04:00I have quoted a Twitter activist, supported by a U...I have quoted a Twitter activist, supported by a UK Holocaust educater, PhD.

He and his wife were saved by the bombs. My aunt has died in Wurzburg. I do not know if she was allowed into a shelter, slave workers were sometimes hated, even attacked. 2. Czechoslovakia was not occupied. Slovakia was a puppet state, quite happy. Czechia and Moravia was a Protectorate, a privileged producer of arms.
